Albatross Bar

Albatross fulfills the need for the “divey” gay bar, while still providing the highest quality entertainment that NYC has to offer. I love it so much and hope it sticks around forever.

There’s no place that quite matches Albatross’s talent, charm, and community. Gierre and his staff will always make you feel at (queer) home. And queens like Angela Mansberry and Harriet Tugsmen will keep you entertained whenever you stop in.

Your neighborhood cheers where all are welcome at our LGBTQ bar. A show every night, bingo on Sundays and even a game night. What more could you want? Well some great bat tenders - know how to pour and ain’t bad to look at too. 😇 Come hang out in Astoria.

Came for Sunday eve bingo. Angela Mansberry hosts and is just the loveliest human. Atmosphere is welcoming, bartender is kind. Couldn’t ask for a better end of the week.

My favorite neighborhood bar. Always a great time. Bartenders are super friendly. Such a chill vibe. And don’t miss bingo with Angela Mansberry on Sundays.

Albatross is one of my favorite local bars! Entertainment is always great! Bar staff is so kind and personable. Drinks are inexpensive for NY. Music is on point, but not so loud that you can’t socialize.

Albatross is the exact bar I always needed but never knew I wanted until I came here. A queer dive bar with the most lovely regulars, phenomenal staff, and mind-blowingly talenred performers, Albatross always has something fun going on, whether its Gayme Night with Avant Garbage every Wednesday, Drag Bingo with Angela Mansberry every Sunday afternoon followed by Retro Rewind with Sherry Poppins or Monday Karaoke with rotating hosts. If you are weary of the dystopian nightmare and need some inspiration your medicine is We the People night with Harriet Tugsman every Friday. If you need to let loose and feel so accepted and body positive its bordering on hedonistic, make sure to come to Lacy Stoner's "Beef" night every 3rd Thursday or feel sensuous and sexy at Lilith Moon's "Underwear Parties" every 2nd Tuesday. Be blown away by the orchestral talents of Mercy B, giggle and bop to the DJ talents of Paulie Popsicle, or revel in nostalgic joy with the legendary Candy Samples. But above all, make sure to get to know and appreciate the amazing bartenders who run the show all night long with grace, kindness and wit! My personal favorite is Shane, a Peter

Albatross Bar is always a good time! Friendly bartenders, great drinks, and an atmosphere that’s welcoming, lively, and full of energy. Whether it’s karaoke, drag, or just hanging out, it’s the perfect spot to have fun and feel at home. Gierre and Angela are the best! Love Bingo!

Love going to this bar. The people are great and enjoy the service provided by the bar staff especially Alexander and Rodrigo. If you live in and around Astoria this is a great place to go and meet local friendly LGBTQIA+ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ neighbors 😀

Love this bar. Staff is very friendly, and it really has a local, hometown bar feel. Friday nights are fun, and the bartender Filup is very friendly. Great place to come to hangout with friends. Highly recommend.

Unfriendly! There was basically nobody in there. The bartender was okay until his friend showed up and all of a sudden wanted me to chug my drink and get out of the bar. At that point I suppose he just wanted to hang out with his friend nobody else was in there I was treated very rudely.
